I like this list so far - even more with the Tyler Starr addition.
@DougKyedNESN: RT @cpriceNFL: Brock Vereen--Shane's brother, a DB from Minnesota--said he met with the #Patriots on Saturday.
It gives me reason to do more on Jeffcoat and Campanaro.
Here's a concise summary of NFL.com's writeup of Campanaro:

It'll indicate one of three things with the Pats:
1. They're looking for a starting caliber SS.
2. They're looking for more depth at the position.
3. Nothing.
I hope it's #1.
It's certainly something to keep an eye on as visits and workouts take place. You did just include two linebackers* there to help you make your case so I'd suggest the sample size is too small right now (unlike last year where they checked out a whole bunch of WRs).
*Certainly using Shazier was an interesting take on the SS issue.

Hmm What about haveing both him and Collins, where one is LB and the other is SS but you never know whos what? Could we have a nickle 4-3-4 with Collins - Mayo - Shazier with DmC roaming behind as FS ?

Yeah, I had thought of something like that. You could do the same thing with Christian Jones, IMO. It's very encouraging that the Pats are showing interest in Shazier and Tyler Starr, though I take such reports with a large grain/pinch of salt.
